the only word that can describe my tummy now is - FULL!

today was a crazy day because i spent the whole day between slumdog millionaire, 海角七號 and my 5page report. finished slumdog millionaire by mid afternoon because it became my relaxation point while doing that horrendous report. and i think the film really deserved the Emmy Awards that it won because it was really spectacular. i especially loved the cinematography. as for the storyline, i was already familiar with it because i read the book "Q&A" by Vikas Swarup, which the movie was adapted from, when i was in J1 - one year after the book was published. i loved the movie's theatrical release poster which has the question "what does it take to find a lost love?" - which tells of one of the side stories that was not so obvious in the book itself. but on a side note, i don't think that the soundtrack for the movie was very fantastic, or maybe it's different tastes in music.

happily finished the report at about 7.05pm. and about an hour before that winson came to ask if i wanted to go out for dinner because we were celebrating RYOHEI's birthday (which is actually tomorrow). obviously i said yes and rushed to finish the last few paragraphs of my report. we went to HollandV to eat the Crystal Jade Buffet.

OMG. today i ate like SOOO much! had cereal for breakfast with extremely sweet soyabean milk. and for lunch i had sandwiches of egg and cheese. and dinner, omg. dinner was really a stuffer. the buffet was actually steamboat and free flow of xiaolongbao - which we were there for. because the buffet only starts at 8.30pm, we went to the nearby food center to sit. as we waited we had char kway teow and carrot cake (shared by 6ppl) and we drank sake. then when we went to the buffet, only 5 of us were left because keith had to go back to hall for a meeting. but it was still seriously filling because we had a total of 5baskets of xiaolongbao and at least 20 steamboat dishes plus a few appetizers. the food was okay. the xiaolongbao was heavenly. and we sneaked sake in to drink too! ryohei was the first to give up eating because he was super full. shereen and i were the second to give up cause we were too full too. only junghai and winson continued eating at full force. the other three of us did eat a little here and there after we stopped. :P but for the price we paid ($23), that was one good dinner.

alright! i'm halfway through 海角七號, and i'm not totally getting the story, but i think i will in about 10~20mins time. i'm streaming "he's just not that into you" (adapted from a self-help book?) as well as "camp rock" (disney channel movie. :P) and i don't think i can finish all of them tonight, but i've started to leave my computer turned on overnight. i did that last night cause all my research material was in the Safari windows and i didn't want to search for them again. tonight i will leave them open cause i streamed the movies already!

ooh. today i added nuffnang adverts to my blog to see if i can make some money from it. as well as an mp3 player with a few songs that reflect my recent moods. and i'm going to see if there are other things i can add so that people who come to my blog can maybe play with them and stuff like that. :D
